Tingsha Plain with Satin Cord

Tibetan Tingsha Cymbals, Plain with Satin Cord

These OM Shoppe Tibetan Tingsha Cymbals with satin cord provide a sweet and inciting tone to bring one’s mind into focus, as you feel the comfortable satin against your fingers. Measuring 2.5 inches across they have a higher tone perfect for focusing attention to the wandering monkey mind. These Tingshas can be used in sound healing applications or musical applications. Traditionally used by Tibetan Buddhists to mark the beginning and end of meditation. They are also used by a Buddhist master to bring a student back into focus when his mind wanders during meditation. Our chimes are made in Nepal of an alloy of bronze, iron and zinc.

The sound is penetrating and purposely dissonant unlike the harmonic overtones of the Tibetan singing bowls. You can chime them by either 1) slightly tapping them together (soft sound) or by 2) holding the satin cord at its center and swinging the chimes together so that they strike each other strongly (loud sound).
